Feeling nervous, restless, or constantly on edge? You’re not alone. Anxiety affects more than 40 million adults in the United States, and many people in St. Louis quietly struggle every day. The good news? Anxiety is highly treatable with the right support and strategies.
At Dr. Lena Pearlman & Associates, we provide compassionate, evidence-based anxiety counseling in St. Louis designed to help you regain control, calm your mind, and improve daily life.
Anxiety can show up differently for everyone. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), common symptoms include:
Constant worry or dread
Feeling tense or overwhelmed
Irritability
Fear of the worst happening
Racing heart or shortness of breath
Sweating or shaking
Trouble sleeping
Upset stomach or fatigue
If these symptoms interfere with work, relationships, or peace of mind, professional support can make a real difference.
